Paper, toner cost

Anyone good with arithmetic? On the basis of cost for toner and legal paper, what is the cost of one printed sheet? Multiply that by 250 sheets, typical of a total signing, what is the printing cost?

Apparently, the two replies have avoided answering the question. This is the first time I am
asking the question. Just the paper and toner. No auto expense, clothes allowence, depreaciating of equipment, etc.

The thread I'm referring to does provide that

information - paper & toner. The guy who did it itemized everything. I think you'll find it helpful. I'm sorry that you felt I was avoiding your question.

Tom, your question was asked here awhile ago.

You may want search using the keywords "printing cost" and see what you come up with. Someone added up the costs for paper, toner, gas, etc. You may also find something under the thread #33325. Good luck.

There are variables to figure in. How much you paid for your paper and how much for your toner. If you refill your own cartridges it makes a difference. You can get even more detailed and figure the cost of using your printer as well.

Tom, you also have to figure in what you think your time is

worth, especially if you are trying to figure what price you are going to charge for edocs.

What I don't get is you thinking a couple of the guys avoided answering your question to begin with. It was a question that did not have to be asked and one that only you can answer for yourself, for we know not what you paid for your supplies and printers. Plus the answer is variable depending on how long you can print before replacing any of your supplies, which is highly dependent on your make and model of printer and your print settings.

You do know what your supplies cost, how to use a calculator and what your printer settings are, don't you?

Based on my situation, a printed copy costs about 5 cents. All in all, printing the lender's docs is nothing to get excited about. My thanks and apologies to those who responded.
